Strike a deal with the Iranians?

What do I look like, an idiot?

Sort of, Barak Obama!

Ben, this issue isn’t about “neocons” “realists” and “isolationists” in Congress.

Everyone knows that sanctions should’ve been increased and if 2/3rds of the Senate wanted to approve the sanctions bill that passed the House in July 2013, they could’ve overridden any presidential veto.

And furthermore there are mechanisms in place to allow for votes even in the absence of the majority leader’s support (although they are rarely used).

Unfortunately all the sanctions that have passed were too weak anyway to stop Iran, and they all contained “presidential waivers” that Obola has been all too happy to use in his second term.

In the end the only voice that matters will be Netanyahu and the Israelis. They’re the only ones left that can stop Iran.

[Dave346]

Furthermore, the entire point of sanctions is to provide an alternative to war.

Something which clearly Obola who waives sanctions and the Rats who block the new bills in the Senate don’t get.

You have the internet. Search Senate Iran sanctions and read the many articles written last Dec, Jan, and Feb.

Obama will bypass Congress and they will do nothing.

I don’t think it matters what the U.S. does or doesn’t do, Israel’s not going to tolerate a nuclear Iran.

BiBi is a modern Sir Talksalot. Hard for me to believe that the Mossad had zero information on the Usurper in Chief.

The problem is Congress that does absolutely nothing about it.

Uh, maybe the voters who put them in office have a little to do with the problem.

No court, not even the USSC can stop him.

Tell that to Nixon. Of course Nixon did surrender the tapes when he didn’t really have to. Personally I would have called a pres conference and burned them, he didn't and the rest, as they say, is history

"Tell that to Nixon"

Nixon acceded to Marbury v Madison, in the extreme.

It was his only true mistake.

[itsahoot]

It was his only true mistake.

Not challenging the Kennedy theft of the election was probably a bigger mistake.

[MaxMax]

We have a literal Drunk Doper negotiating Nukes. Damn this is madness.

Iran says it needs more nuclear plants (20 more like Bushehr)
